If Chapo can come up with 5 billion dollars cash to build the wall, and build it with those funds- Chapo should be released from prison upon completion of the wall.

Putting up the wall will help the debt problem by preventing the illegals from coming in and claiming welfare benefits.

The government will find a "way" to build the Wall and repatriate millions of people back to Mexico, or the ethnic nature of politics will yield indisputable power to the Democrats and cause all American citizens to lose our rights.

Merrell: Trade Hawaii to the Chicoms for Taiwan.
View Quote
I don't think we will be keeping Hawaii in the Union by 2119.  It may have been a good idea to add it as a subjugated client state, but it should never have been added as a full member state, nor should its residence have been given American citizenship.  Japanese immigration should have been closed off from the start instead of the Gentleman's Agreement of 1907.

If funds are collected the money is deposited in the treasury.
The only constitutional way to get money from the treasury is through an appropriation passed by Congress.
No one in the leadership of Congress wants an effective barrier on the border.

No effective barrier will be built.

Lol, rofl. The world record flip-flipper is, “take the guns first,” Trump.

Lol, rofl.

Trump Corp imports foreign labor? It’s Romneys fault!

Trump Corp hires illegal immigrants? Blame Romney!

Trump isn’t going to force Mexico to pay for a border wall, or defend gun rights, or balance the budget? It’s all Romney’s fault, somehow.

Trumps, “take the guns first,” “pathway to citizenship,” followers have only a few defenses for Trumps broken promises...

Romney is a lying weasel. End of story. At least Trump is trying to do something besides sell out the country. It's difficult though, when the junior senator from UT is working actively against him.

What state will Romney be from next? Let's see, Michigan when daddy was governor, than Mass, now Utah. Maybe Idaho next? Who knows, really. Nevada maybe?

Romney is a politician through and through. And that's not a compliment by any means. If his lips are moving, he's lying about something.

Did Chapo really say that he had paid billions in bribes to U.S. politicians? I keep seeing that on Facebook, but nowhere else. I'm sure he did pay plenty, just don't know if he admitted it in court.

Is the cartel that El Chapo ran dead and gone or is it still up and running under new management?

Because I suspect there is a power vacuum being filled and lower level people who know where stuff is hidden loading sacks of cash in their cars, draining secret accounts and heading for the hills.

Use drug money to save America from more drug smuggling

good plan

If the democrats and republicans loved our country they would be demanding trillions of dollars for border security instead of fighting against border security tooth and nail

Hold on, let me do the math on this: US gov taxes its citizens (then won't fund a wall) but doles out the money to poor people. Poor people use that money to buy drugs. Then the US gov goes through a lengthy legal process to seize what drug money is left after El Chapo uses it on hookers and ATF guns. Then the US hails it as a clever way to fund the wall.

That about right?

No.  He'd be limited by what Congress has authorized the DOJ to spend the money on when it comes to seized funds.

They won't. The argument will be made that these seizures always go to law enforcement programs and they rely on it. So if Trump takes it he will be "stealing from law enforcement" and hampering "efforts against crime" or some bullshit.

And my "law enforcement programs" I mean fake programs made up with  friends and family put in as managers that draw massive salaries.

Ok, so he buys more beds to house the criminals coming over our borders illegally, hires more employees, builds more drones, buys more equipment for the employees.

It's a start.

Do you think the talking heads at CNN and MSNBC would go along with that?

Or would they come up with more objections you can parrot here?

Of all the things you listed it appears that "buys more equipment" would be allowed.  That's basically it.

That's not the only requirement.

The law specifically lists what kind of items the DOJ can spend the funds on.

It basically breaks down to law enforcement equipment, overtime pay and training for state/local law enforcement and administrative costs to run the seizure fund.  That's more or less it.
